Christ: whole inheritance

The boundary lines have
fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a
delightful inheritance. - Psalm 16:6

Artist: Jed
Gibbons

"God, in His promises to hear our prayers, is
desirous to bestow Himself upon us;if you find anything better
than Him, ask it; but if you ask anything beneath Him, you put an affront upon
Him, and hurt yourself by preferring to Him a creature which He framed: Pray in
the spirit and sentiment of love, in which the royal prophet said to Him, 'Thou,
O Lord, are my portion.' Let others choose to themselves portions among
creatures, for my part, You are my portion, You alone I have chosen for my whole
inheritance."
